Method 1 Word Clearing was the first method developed in the early seventies. It has some basic assumptions which we will examine here. The method consists of assessing a list of subjects and asking for misunderstood words in these subjects. It was a further development of what was known in the sixties as Remedy B. But unlike these remedies–which were mere assist actions–word clearing was ritualized in 1972.

See also the article ‘Word Clearing  Rituals’ . Remedy B was an assist done where needed. Method 1 was a generalized procedure for everyone.

Assumptions

Regardless of whether these are valid or true we list the assumptions:

Method 1 assumes that everyone has misunderstoods and holes in their education.

Method 1 assumes that that a reading subject contains misunderstood words. One of the subjects listed is for example sex and who knows whether it reads on slang word, a withhold or a hidden desire.

Method 1 assumes that a misunderstood word on the list of subjects, is also a subject that contains misunderstood words.

Method 1 assumes there must be chains of words in a reading subject.

Outpoints

There is no check in Method 1 to be sure that the read on the subject is the same as the read on the misunderstood word.

Method 1 omits the essential step to achieve the proclaimed EP–recovery of one’s education–which would be to restudy the subject after the misunderstoods have been cleared.

It also violates the principle of ‘inspection before the fact’, as there may be someone who does not need their education recovered.

Outpoints are often what is omitted. The biggest omission is the role of false data contained in a subject. How can you clear an education or a subject without taking this aspect into account?

The standard procedure when getting a read on a subject would have been to ask about the subject to see what the read was on. Then if it concerned difficulties with the subject or confusions about it or anything pointing to the presence of misunderstood words one would be asking for a misunderstood word in the subject.

False attests

The proclamation that Method One Word Clearing leads to the recovery of one’s education is a half truth at best due to omitting the re-study requirement. To require the student to attest to: “Recovery of one’s education” without this, is setting the stage for dishonesty.  

Earlier Tech

The earlier remedies A & B did not suffer from these outpoints, see the 1964 bulletin on Definitions Processing. Despite these outpoints many people report great wins and results, but where it goes sour, the above may be the reasons.
